Aim & Scope

The aim of Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics Mechanics is to provide a platform for publication of research results in which multi-scale and multi-physics mechanics play a vital role. This journal publishes articles with contributions in all aspects of multi-scale and multi-physics problems. The problems of multi-scale mechanics include structural, mechanical or material systems with varying length or time scales. The problems of multi-physics mechanics involve multiple physical models or multiple physical phenomena.. The scope of Multi-Scale and Multi-Physics Mechanics covers a wide range of themes associated with multi-scale and multi-physics mechanics encountered in engineering and scientific research and practice. Typical subjects considered by the journal include: Analytical, computational, and experimental methods for multi-scale and multiphysics mechanics Multi-scale problems Multi-physics problems Computational materials science and engineering Coupled mechanics MEMS and NEMS Mechanics and materials Mechanics and biology Other related topics

    Reinforced concrete (RC) structures require advanced analysis techniques for better estimation of their seismic responses, especially in the case of exhibiting complex three-dimensional coupling of torsional and flexural behaviors. This study focuses on validating a numerical approach for evaluating the seismic response of a three-dimensional unsymmetrical RC structure through the participation in the SMART 2013 international benchmark program. The benchmark program provides material properties, detailed drawings of the RC structure, and input ground motions for the seismic response evaluation. In this study, nonlinear constitutive models of concrete and rebar were formed and local tests were conducted to verify the constitutive models in finite element analysis. Elastic calibration of the finite element model of the SMART 2013 RC structure was performed by comparing numerical and experimental results in modal and linear time history analyses. Using the calibrated model, nonlinear earthquake analysis and seismic fragility analysis were performed to estimate the behavior and vulnerability of the RC structure with various ground motions.

    Gradient enhanced theories of crystal plasticity enjoy great research interest. The focus of this work is on thermodynamically consistent modeling of grain size dependent hardening effects. In this contribution, we develop a model framework for damage coupled to gradient enhanced crystal thermoplasticity. The damage initiation is directly linked to the accumulated plastic slip. The theoretical setting is that of finite strains. Numerical results on single-crystalline metal showing the development of damage conclude the paper.
